What could have been a heavy-handed drama about the nightmares of alcoholism turns out to be actually mild-mannered, thoughtful and at times oddly humorous, while still taking it's subject matter fairly serious. It handles it's bruised emotions and complexities with great care and that's where it shines. Mary Elizabeth Winstead delivers one of the finest performances I've seen in a long, long time that never gets too dramatic nor does it slip up when the well-placed humor is inserted.
